Dr. Ken is amazing with my Kiddos. He always makes our experience so comfortable. His staff is equally great to work with. Couldn't ask for a better dentist for my kids. Highly recommended.

I had an amazing experience taking my baby here for his first dentist appointment! Everyone was so kind, welcoming, and very informative!

Dr. Otterstedt is clearly very knowledgeable about pediatric dentistry. What blew me away the most is his "chairside" manner. He truly cares for his patients and patiently interacts with his patients and their families.
